Today we stood outside MP Michelle Rempel's office. We were glad to be joined by George Melnyk, Susan Stratton, Don and Rosemary Brown. 

The news from Durban is not good, nor is it good from Ottawa. Although I talk with some people who deny the human involement in Climate Change, I believe that most Canadians believe we need some fundamental changes in our world view, and therefore, in our actions.

I am reading Chris Turner's book "The Leap." It raises the question - why is it that Norway, Germnay and Denmark are far ahead in understanding the realities of Climate Change and are vigorously pursuing public policies relevant for the 21st century? 

Rather than applauding Rex Murphy and the National Post in their attacks on Archbishop Desmond Tutu, it would be well to cut the rhetoric and face realities. There is no reason why Canada cannot  be a leader in the transition to renewable energies. We have resources on both side of the equation.
